in my quest to get a better battery life out of my phone (seen people saying 2 days battery life) i have tried 6-8 roms, 3 kernels and 5 modems. all of which give me less then 10-14hrs usage (i know thats fairly average for some of us)
IS there an app that can change cpu speeds based on what app is on the foreground?
my regular usage is:
1200mhz,
ondemand,
3g enabled all time,
~40mins talk time
~100sms
~45mins gaming/video (for train journey =D)
~5mins gps (to check for my bus home)
Push exchange emails
auto brightness
haptic feedback
Tablet-Mode
I have tested that for 70% of my daily usage this works fine for me:
500mhz,
lulzactive,
3g enabled all time,
manual exchange mail sync
but in testing games such as temple run i would need max 1ghz
(have yet to test with music yet... 720p video runs fine @ 800mhz and 1080p @ 1ghz)
i have seen there is a way to inject 3g to 2g toggle when screen is off, is there any way to do it without injecting into the zip? or inject directly into rom?
i think then i could run push emails without much problem. then my phone will really be ON DEMAND!
during 500mhz i notice a slight reduction in battery consumption (not as much as i thought however)
i am running D4ROM v10 with siyahkernel 3.1.2 with resurrection remix as dual booted rom. will prob be getting the 1900mah anker battery heard its decent and fits in normal cover, so yes please let me know if you do get longer then a day, and also if what i need is available (i have searched)
There is no need for such applications mate because android by itself handles the load balancing. The load increase/decrease is basically dynamic and hence you cant predict that.
Overriding that will only consume more battery.
well from the last 2 years of using android underclocking has always increased my battery quite a bit... even right now its consuming 2-3%/hr compared to 5/6% from 500mhz and 1200mhz in sleep, at the end it adds up!
I imagine Tasker could achieve your odd request, though I haven't checked.

I have got the tasker 7 day trial and i can honestly say it is amazing! takes android to a whole new level!
got 2g and underclock & screent timeout 20secs when screen off, then when i use dolphin it connects to 3g, when i play games it clocks to 1ghz 10mins screen timeout. when i plug in OTG usb stick it opens mx video player !
only problem i have is when the screen times out it underclocks (say if ive opened a game) then when i wake the device and unlock again, - the profile says it should clock to 1ghz... but it is staying at 800mhz (which is the screen off max clock speed...) - temporarily just pressing home going to recent apps and opening the game again
p.s. using around 2-3% on sleep/hr and 4-5%/hr with moderate usage (few texts, browsing, play store)

Hi, I have just bought a GS2 and first impression, except battery life, is this device is awesome !
So, I have search and found some tips to save baterry life.
They is 2 goods apps which call :
* JuiceDefender Ultimate
* Auto Apps Kill
Juice Defender Ultimate could be configurate to do anything for you, for example if you shutdown your screen it could cut off 3G and WIFI automatically, and reactivate it gently sometime.
The best conf I have made is to activate WIFI only on some area I know I can connect ! So when I'm at home he shutdown my 3G, activate my Wifi, and if he can't do that he switch back to 3G. He will learn your Wifi position and activate it automatically.
So you don't need to care turn off wifi, gps ou 3g, he do everything for you !
The ultimate (which cost a little), allow you to handle everything, lesser version don't have this tweak.
Auto Apps Killer, is a apps that automatically kill apps you don't need when screen if turn off,
So you don't need to shutdown manually apps, he do the think for you.
Of course you can ignore some apps, and they is a default ignore list that prevent shuting down widget and main apps that maintain your phone as good as if nothing was killing.
So with this both, my baterry has almost double, I can use it a day long.
But, it seems they is more thing todo when you are rooted.
My question is, does anybody has installed the rooted roms that allow you to change you CPU frequency automatically.
Is they any gain you can have by downscale your CPU when power isn't need.
I know CPU is set to 1200 mhz, and I think it doesn't go down or high. With a rooted version I could make it slow to 800 mhz or less in sleeping mode, and up to 1500 when I use it hard.
With this I should have some extra power, and extra battery, and not worry to go to my work and get back home without any battery at the end of the day.
Does anybody has experience this ?
Umm yes, all stock android phones keep CPU low when idle and then increase CPU when you use it. Just install system panel and see. Root is not needed for this, it is stock function.
Oh I see it vary from 200 mhz to 1200 mhz
I let my phone all night (8 hour), full of charge. When I wake up and check, my battery was a 72 % !!!
my iPhone was at 92%, it seems to drop too many cpu
I have stock crap from my operator that ofen run, rooted could help me to remove this.
I have install System Panel to check what tools use my baterry like this.
I have disactivate push, and lock once per hour the connection with Juice Defender, but battery drain without any usage,
it should be less no ?
Yes it should be less. Other people leave their galaxy s2 over night for 8 hours and only lose 5%. So something is wrong with your setup.
My battery life has been fantastic. Best on any android phone i've owned. I'm just rooted with a few things frozen.

Yeah I know, it's would be a dream to save a lot of battery when it is suppose to be idle.
I can't remove crap apps from Bouygues and Samsung, so here my setting :
I have widget on :
AccuWeather,
Google Adsense,
Google Analytics,
Battery Monitor Widget,
I have tools on :
Juice Defender (which stop connection on night!)
AutoApps killer (one kill per hour)
SystemPanel (to know what use my cpu like this)
My Wifi is on for any data and not my 3G data,
JuiceDefender keep it like this when I'm at home
And everytime I look my lock screen, all data is off,
Once per hour it pull it on (and not during the night), fetch data and shut it down again.
In social hub I have :
Windows Live Messenger (but should be on only when I open it no ? any monitor don't tell me that it is the problem)
And 2 Microsoft Exange Account with Email, Calendar and Contact sync
Both account is sync once per 15 min the day, and once per hour the night
And I have twitter, facebook apps which sync sometime their data
It seems calendar in Exchange sync more often, that the over, not so sure
I know this seems a lot but it also a normal usage,
Any advice ?
I've got my SGS2 to a usage of 1-1.5% a hour in standby and 16% a hour when I do normal stuff, so no games.
I've done this with Agelom's Rom with Juice Defender Ultimate, Screenfilter and AdFree Android.
I set pulls to every 1 hour which is managed by Juice Defender, GPS off and Laditude(this kept my sgs2 awake) off.

You can also try green power free from the market, its free and can turn off mobile data unlike the free version of juice defender.
I have just disconnect latitude. I will check if battery is better.
Thanks a lot for your tips.
Next step install windows.
Install kies
Odin
Rooted
And remove all bouygues crap apps that crash all the time !

The best way to save a lot of battery is to use SetCPU and lock speed at max 500mhz when screen is off. If you lock at 200mhz after a while you have to hard reboot because the phone don't want to wake up.

I don't think SetCPU has any good effect on battery for GS II. When the screen is Off, and I guess the CPU isn't doing anything, then it will automatically run at 500 MHz or below. So there is no need to set the clock rate. I purchased the app, used it for two days at Ondemand preset, and the battery seems decreasing fast than in normal, which is weird, very weird. May be I yet to find the right setting of the appl, but till now it's not working for me and I have disabled it.
Regards.
Oh I think he has. In my case I often listen music with bluetooth. The cpu want to go above the 500mhz. So the limitation is useful. In the case I do nothing, yes it doesn't change anything.

Hey guys,
I need help. My battery life is absolutely shocking. And yes, I have adequately calibrated my battery (which IMO shouldn't make that much of a difference).
Please share your tips for maximizing battery here!
Basically, when I call someone, I lose like 10% in about 10 minutes. Not good. And I like to be on the phone for hours on end.
Please help, and thus also help others!
P.S: I am using Wolfbreaks 2.3.3 ROM.
P.P.S: I have tried:
CPU Profiles
Setting Max Clock Speed to 576MHz.
Governor is interactive.
2G only (never 3G) on a 900MHz network.
Manually killed some tasks which may consume battery (rarely though, makes no observable difference).
I never connect wireless, and (background) data is disabled.
Brightness always at an all-time low.
Added some build.prop modifications (setting the WiFi scan interval to 5 minutes [300 seconds], just in case I enable WiFi).
No Bravia Engine/xLoud enabled (not even included in the ROM).
Undervolt kernel module (my phone never crashes).
NOTE: Aeroplane mode is not an option unfortunately I need my phone on an connected 24/7.
Other things to note about my use:
I don't ever listen to music.
I never browse the internet whilst connected to 3G.
I rarely connect to my WAP.
I rarely use the camera.
I rarely watch videos.
I occasionally (sometimes) browse the Gallery ( <100 pictures ).
Cheers guys!
Even I have recently installed wolf's rom and I find that the battery is performing lesser than before...
Did your battery encounter overheating issue before? I'm not an expert therefore I'm just capable to give advice As for me battery draining quite fast too when on call but on other time its just fine
Hello
My Razr Xt910 batteries consumption is high
For example i'm in bed for 7 hours , It consumes 20%!
Idle consumption is too high
i'm using 2G
wifi and... is off
I close all programs
changed ROM
and .....
But this problem exists
In your opinion, why is this problem?
May be a hardware problem?
Sorry for bad English
Thanks
There's an app called Watchdog Task Manager that can monitor your apps and phone processes. That might be able to help you pin point if you've got a rogue app.
My girlfriend had to swap out her first Razr for a similar problem. Her phone would not last her an entire day with very light use. Using Watchdog Task Manager I was able to find that the suspend process was hanging and causing the battery to drain very rapidly.

If you were rooted you may get rid of some apps. Like if you dont use backup asst.
It always runs in the back round. I talked to a rep the other day that said just force stop it. I said duh but it will re start itself. Make a list of what you see is running in the back round and and we can figure what program it is to see if we can freeze or get rid of it. Ahh I see you tried different Roms. You can use and app like NoBloat freeze. What Rom did you use? There is more information we need and can go from there.
Edit: How to use , go to system ,apps and look at running. Do you have email setup? How often is that set to refresh for email. So many things to look at.
Install Watchdog and agree to the license.
Set the default monitor to aggressive using the pulldown menu.
Hit the menu button on you phone and go to preferences.
Click "CPU threshold" and set it to 20%.
Click "Polling interval" and set it to 1 minute.
Click "Real time polling interval" and set it to 5 seconds.
Where it says "Include phone processes" make sure that is checked.
Click and check mark "Monitor phone processes" and "Display all phone processes"
Click on "System process CPU threshold" and set it to 40%
Now Watchdog will monitor all your apps and processes and will alert you if anything is going over the thresholds you have set. You can see what the culprit is under the alerts tab in the main menu.
Also, by going into the CPU tab on the app main menu, if you check "real time CPU" you can monitor your CPU usage in real time yourself. Anything in cyan is a background app/process, white is for system processes, and green is for apps/processes in the foreground.
I still use this app quite a bit especially if I install a few new apps, although I run it with the CPU polling interval at 10 minutes and the System process CPU threshold at 50% in my everyday usage to minimize CPU usage.
The suspend process that was giving my girlfriend problems on her phone can be seen while in the CPU tab if you check "real time CPU." I believe it will pop up after your phone is unlocked but should afterward stop and not consume any CPU. On my girlfriend's old phone this would not be the case. The suspend process would hang and constantly alert through Watchdog that it was exceeding the percentage threshold.
I'm not sure if this will be of any help and I apologize if it does not but it did help me. Good luck.

ok
About 20 hours
and phone idle consumption is high
Watchdog alert:
suspend
Linux Process
43.4%
What's this?
What should I do?
You should use SetCPU and underclock your CPU so it runs slower but provides better battery life.
Switch the governor to the regular hotplug instead of mot_hotplug and under advanced change the sampling rate to 30000, up threshold to 95, down threshold to 50. Also in profiles set up profiles for various circumstances so if you're sleeping, you can make it so that if the screen is off you're limited to 300/600 mhz and so on.
I was using the ondemand governor earlier and then I stumbled upon some descriptions of them where they explained hotplug as being very similar to ondemand but having the capability to switch off the second core if there is not enough workload which I believe ondemand doesn't allow you to do.
Yesterday, I was at 65% battery left after 9 1/2 hrs of mild usage (2 phonecalls, 100 sms, bit of im'ing, light browsing and a couple of emails). Had the profile set so that it would limit clock at 600mhz when my battery is under 90% and at 800mhz when its above 90%.

Try the app juicedefender and see if that helps? a longshot but maybe its worth.
20 hours out of your phone but is that moderate usage? Forget about idle time. Do you not get regular usage out of your phone?
i have a Moto razr my own , and never noticed how much the battery would last.
of course it won't concern me much , cause i already prepared my self for a lousy battery back up with a 4.3 inch display and dual core cpu!!
i got your back on this whole messed up battery fiesta thing buddy ,
i'm gonna charge my razr up , and see how it's battery gonna react , if it's as bad as your device , chances are , it's a pretty common problem on every xt910 units , and you don't need to be worry about a thing.

Sent from my MZ601 using XDA Premium HD app
after reading a few tips on the forums, I did the following:
1. installed SetCPU (paid) and made a custom "profile" that, when I turn the screen off, it reduces the CPU activity to the minimum (300)
2. I installed an app called "2x battery" (free) which will kill my data when the screen is off... I have it set up to where it will briefly enable my data connection every 15 min. to check for emails/texts, etc., and I also have it set up to where, if I have an active data connection (i.e. pandora) then it will not disable the data during that period.
3. With the 2x battery it also doubles as a manual task killer... or you can also install "memory booster" (lite = free)
4. set my wallpaper background to black
with these things I have really noticed an increase in battery power... try them and see what you think!
---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------
oh yeah, after you are at 100% on your battery and have unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple times and it still stays at 100, then reboot into recovery (while still plugged in) - go to advanced - wipe battery stats - reboot - unplug and run battery all the way down till it dies - charge up without unplugging. see if that helps, it will re-condition your battery.
Hi guys,
I asked a few days ago about governor settings but then set out to explore it myself. The aim of what I was doing was to make my truesmart last a full day of normal use. I am trying to make my truesmart my primary device, so a full days use is important (especially as Omate have not yet shipped my second cradle!)
Over my first couple of days with the Truesmart it was lasting about 9 hours of moderate use (Moderate use to me is having it on my wrist all day, showing people who ask, talking to my girlfriend on hangouts, checking facebook and updating a few apps). This meant that it was usually running out of juice on the walk home from work. And that really was not good enough. Yesterday, with all my modifications I was able to go out until midnight, and come home to 40% battery. So these are the tools that after trying a few I think are worthwhile.
1. Bluetooth on call https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futonredemption.jasper.btoncall
Does what it says, when someone calls BT turns on, pairs with my headset and lets me pick up. In reverse I dail a number, count to 3 and select the bluetooth speaker, usually before they have picked up. The result is that BT goes from being about 17% of a days charge to not registering on my battery meter.
2. Lean data - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.leandata
Wifi is on when screen is on or on charge, when screen is off it can be set to pulse on and off for set time periods (i set 1 on and 10 off). The result is that Wifi goes from being 20% of a days charge to being about 4%
So once I was done with the two most obvious methods I had two main culprits of power usage.Cell Standby (41%) and Phone Idle (37%). Short of some baseband tuning 2g off (I live in Korea, there is no 2g) there is nothing that can be done with cell standby. So I looked to governor settings to reduce Cell standby and maybe even improved on screen battery performance. I tried a few apps, but this was by far the best
3. CPU tuner - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.amana.android.cputuner
Usual warnings here, this app is playing with some fairly low level stuff, it may stuff up your device and it does have a few bugs.
This app actually makes the first two redundant,, I've left the links for people that don't want to mess with governors, they are now off my watch. But the best thing this one does is that it allows you to set modes for different CPU governor tweaks on the fly. YOu will want to read this next: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736168
On the truesmart we have 5 Governors available:
Performance - all on
Powersave - all (yes all) to lowest power
On demand - all scale frequency to power demand
Userspace - something odd that lets compatible apps set it ignore it
Hotplug - like on demand but can turn off one CPU completely
And from what I can tell we have 3 frequencies available on a 1Ghz chip (598, 806 and 1001).
You will almost always want to use hot plug unless you are benchmarking or manually switched one of the cores off as the others lack the ability to halt the second core automatically, so power is usually better, even than powersave. You also get to set the percentage of load that the frequency is upped and a powersave vs performance bias which I believe impacts how long the governor should be at that load before stepping up to the next level and how eager it is to step back.
I use uniform profile and set the following modes:
On screen or lock screen - hotplug - a small powersave bias and threshhold up at 50
Screen off on call or charging - powersave - max cpu 598, 2nd core disabled
People might find my charging profile odd, but I figure the device isn't overly usable in the cradle so why not have it charge as fast as possible, I tried performance but it got hot. With all this set, my phone idle battery usage now tracks up at about 2/3 the rate of my cell standby and there really is no loss in end user performance. The governor tweaking probably gets me and extra hour or 2 usage over the day.
After everything was done I have gone from 9 hours of charge with my usage profile to being able to last a full 18 hour day and still having room to spare. 36 hours off charge is not off the cards, so that is a four fold improvement. Have a play and let me know if it helps.
Here ya go. Remove the txt extension. This is the core of the edits that was getting a TS 10-12 days of 2G standby with no syncs and over 4 days 3G/HSPA+ standby with G+/Hangouts/Email and other apps syncing as they like.
Pay close attention to the loki99 edits. The governor changes alone save a bit of battery. It forces lowest clock rate and one core unless the device really needs both cores and higher clocks.

Ah you are still around. I have a 1/8/2100 (hence why I hadn't applied your ROM to benefit from those tweaks) is there anything I need to change other than the maximum frequency of 1001000 for that model?
There are no 2g networks in Korea or I'd have 3g disabled. So 3 to 4 days it is I think right now mine is tracking down at about 1% an hour, cell standby being the biggest consumer, is there anything that can be done to reduce that further?
Thank you I'll have a play. I take it I just put the script into the init.d folder and copy the parts of the buildprop to the system directory. Is there anything else to it?
Not really. I quit deving but somebody messaged me about this and pointed to this thread. 3G only kind of bites as the 2G radios are still on and looking for networks and using battery. Try DS Battery Saver and set it to "Agressive" or "Slumberer".
Aggressive will disable WiFi, data and syncs when the screen is off and every 2 hours it will turn on data/sync for about a minute and let your apps sync.
Slumberer will completely disable WiFi, data and syncs when the screen is off and only allow data/sync when the TS is awake.
Having wifi on at all unless there is a network it can connect to is useless.
My primarily use is for sports though, the GPS eats battery (as expected). But I want max power when starting.
Less crappy firmware with Bluetooth 4 and/or another dataplan may change my use though.
For more granular control, DS Battery Saver and Kernel Tuner have Locale plugin interfaces, so they can be used in Llama/Tasker. Tasker has some governor/CPU freq support too. Additionally Locale Execute plugin can be used to activate scripts similar to what Loki posted.
CPU Tuner works reasonably well out of the box, but I want to combine profiles with location, for instance wifi only at home. In addition, I have a data plan that require activation, so data/sync is only occasionally on. (Ad based, data, SMS, talk is free, but you have to watch ads every 2nd hour for data.) So for data to be on, the condition should be to ping some internet server. At home I use wifi when screen is on.
I have some Llama events setup now for multiple locations, may have to switch to Tasker to get what I want.
First of all, thank you for the forum, saved my phone twice on severe fails to boot (no recovery)!
Anyway, this is an add for CloudyFlex, been running it for a week, it is amazing.
Here is a battery test over one day. Starts 100% charged before going to bed, wake up at 100% (did my usual titanium backup/upload at night)! Absolutely flatline when not actively using.
Wifi on 100% and actively connected over most of the day. Network is Edge connected 100% of the time (no 3G in Ukraine).
Got about 6.5 hours screentime.
Drained to 1% by spending last 4 hours on Neuroshima Hex playing against itself (very intensive AI core use), and 3 hours of video.
Screen at 70% brightness.
Seen attached cobbled together screen shots.
Battery tips:
- go into that stupid facebook and make it stop checking for everything. Same for lots of other apps. I keep whatsapp, gmail on active notifications)
- greenify
- autostarts: remove most of the apps that check for everything all the time (eg: facebook, stopped ALL autostarts), but also many other apps that seem to start for stupid reasons and then stay on calling the mothership every time someone farts, I hate them.
Tests on geekbench are in the 940-960 single core and 2750-2800 multi core (up to 2847).
Antutu gives me 33000+ with a max at 35000.
Phenomenal ROM, hyper stable. Great G3 keyboard, great Pro camera.
With G2 tweaks you get the custom buttons navbar.
Thanks Cloudy.
thanks for the review but i went back to stock since dual window mod now works on it ....
